You Uploaded 100 Designs ! But Still Failed To Sell On Merch by Amazon? Get Sales on Merch By Amazon

About this video

(Summarized from the Bengali caption track.) RJ Martinez — who claims over four years in print-on-demand and, conservatively, over $200,000 in royalties — explains why uploading 100 designs on Merch by Amazon or other platforms produces no sales: uploading alone does not work in an increasingly competitive market. Sellers must research, use listing keywords that rank near page one (a design buried on page seven will not sell), and enter niches with little or no competition. Design quality matters but need not mean complex art: a well-researched simple phrase of a few words can count as a quality design, and he says some sellers make $10,000 a month from simple text designs; creators who cannot illustrate can use free commercial-use graphics or outsource until they can hire an artist. Chasing trends gave his own account a big lift and can spike sales, but trend income fades, so he recommends evergreen niches for consistent daily sales and continued testing. In crowded niches you must be visibly different — not the 1,001st identical shirt. For keyword research he recommends Amazon’s free search-bar autocomplete, Helium 10, and reverse-ASIN lookups on bestsellers to see which keyword phrases competitors rank for. He also stresses double- and triple-checking trademarks (including having a team re-check) because infringement can get an account suspended, using advertising where available, and otherwise building your own audience on Pinterest, Facebook or Instagram and eventually your own website. In his opinion Etsy is currently the easiest platform to rank on.

Key takeaways

• Uploading 100 designs guarantees nothing — research, keyword ranking near page one and low-competition niches drive the first sales
• Simple, well-researched text phrases can be quality designs; use free commercial-use graphics or outsourcing if you cannot illustrate
• Trends can spike sales but fade; evergreen niches are his route to consistent daily sales, balanced with testing
• Find keywords free via Amazon search-bar autocomplete, or with Helium 10 and reverse-ASIN checks on bestsellers in the niche
• Check trademarks repeatedly before uploading — a trademarked phrase can get an account suspended — and build your own audience if you have no ad access
